The lines between gaming and reality have started to blur. Alex never expected a game to change the way he looked at life, but the launch of Revenant Online changed his perception of the world as much as himself. The old him would never have the courage to make a move on a girl, but this time he was determined not to let the opportunity slip through his fingertips. Inside of the game, he wasn’t just Alex, the high school outcast. He was a tank. The man who led his group into battle. In a world teetering on the brink of chaos, Alex was the bulwark between the darkness and the light. The Unifier was coming. There was no reasoning with it. There was no bargaining. The Unifer served one purpose. To exterminate every living soul. To unite them all in death. Alex and his friend weren’t going to let that happen. Follow along as Alex battles treacherous enemies, masters newfound abilities, and confronts his growing feelings for Sana in both realities.

Love, gaming, and danger collide. Alex never expected to fall for his best friend's sister. Then they started playing Revenant Online together, and everything changed. Killing monsters and solving mysteries as a team made him see what he should have seen all along. Sana was more than Ben’s sister. She was the woman who captured his heart. Revenant Online was the spark that lit the fire of their relationship. It would have been easy to think the game was all that made them fall for each other, but their lives in the real world were becoming just as interesting. Keeping secrets from his best friend, hounded by mean girls, destruction of property, and the chance to be interviewed on their favorite online gaming show was almost to much for a teenager to take. Alex wasn’t sure what was next for them, but he knew it would be exciting. It was time to log in and find out.

Alex believed there was nothing better than great pizza and a compelling story. The pizza was for the real world, and the story—well, he was living it inside Revenant Online alongside his friends. There was more happening in the desert than they realized. Entering the sands was more than a departure from modern life; it was a struggle for the soul of Miner’s Hook. On one side stood those who longed for a return to a simpler time. On the other stood The Unifier—an entity seeking only death. Alex’s group chose their side of the fight. They were prepared to do whatever it took to save the residents of Miner’s Hook from Frea’s clutches, even if it meant traveling through a portal to another world. Together, it felt like they could conquer anything. It never occurred to them they they might be tested alone. The battle for the soul of Miner’s Hook continues in Temple Of Madness.

Alex and company returned to Miner’s Hook as conquering heroes. But their job wasn’t done. There was the matter of the dark mark on their hands and the leader of the Salt Flat Bandits to deal with. Once Miner’s Hook was free, they would move on to Night City. Reaching the city before school started was all Alex wanted to achieve. After the final weekend of summer, their free time would evaporate like water on hot pavement. If they wanted bright futures, gaming would have to take a back burner to life. Excelling in school was their priority. When summer ended, everything would be different. Change wasn’t always a bad thing. Sometimes, an opportunity arises that is too good to refuse—a chance to influence their own destinies in ways they never thought possible. The golden ticket winners were about to discover that all it took for their lives to change was the interest of one reclusive trillionaire. Mr. Tannenbaum’s flair for the dramatic was well known, and he had one final surprise prepared for all the golden ticket winners. A contest that could determine the course of their lives.
